Downtown Corpus Christi construction

Rachel Denny Clow/Caller-Times Workers with Reytec Construction Resources work Thursday on road construction on Chaparral Street. Voters approved a two-block Chaparral improvement project during the 2008 bond election and work began in February. The two-block stretch, from William to Schatzell streets, is expected to be completed by September.

Mike Baird/Caller-Times Chaparral Street reconstruction next to Sonja’s Restaurant is close to completion. Owner Sonja Silvertooth said her business has been impacted since work began in February, partly because two sides of her restaurant have had construction, and parking has been more difficult for customers.
